New Orleans Airport Baggage Search Leads To Arrest
NEW ORLEANS -- A 30-year-old Madisonville man was arrested at Louis Armstrong International Airport after security screeners found five knives, 44 rounds of ammunition and 8 grams of crystal methamphetamine in his baggage.
Screeners on Concourse B said they found the knives, bullets for a 9 mm and drugs in the lining of a bag belonging to Louis Bayhi III, along with several lighters, a can of lighter fluid and a "glass smoking device."
Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies said Bayhi was taken into custody Friday night and questioned but did not make any statement.
Deputies booked him at the East Bank Lockup in Metairie (Met-tree) with possession of methamphetamine.
Bayhi was released Saturday on a $5,000 bond.
